Well plastic reaver titan confirmed!

Unsure if this is the right thread in honesty, it may be an additional sprue but "nails" has a new leak

 

That's part of the old Void Shield Generator kit. Guessing somebody went bin diving and grabbed it alongside the Titan sprue?

 

 

Be interesting to see if it's getting a re-release as part of a return to Apocalypse being supported in 11th to along with the Titan (whether the Eye of Terror 10th rules or otherwise). Could just be leftovers of a made-to-order run though.

I wonder if the Titan will be released as an Adeptus Titanicus Combat Patrol box.

Games Workshop: Best I can do is something completely unnecessary and ridiculously large

 

I'm happy to see quite a few people here are talking about positive experiences with Forge World kits. With some of my smaller kits I've had less hassle with them than some GW plastic kits. Some GW plastic is amazing, other times you get infantry models made from 11+ parts, some of which don't even resemble anything until they are fitted to the rest of the model and don't have a clear biting point so they just slide against all the other parts into you get them just about right.

 

I tried gluing together that odd Warcry samurai vampire wolf guys and the wolfy one was miserable to build and I eventually hat to fill a massive gap with plastic putty because of a part that didn't even make sense. There's a certain expectation that a resin kit is a modelling project to be tackled but plastic kits are just supposed to fit together and that isn't always the case.

 

It doesn't help that some Youtubers from the last few years talk about resin kits like they are radioactive and will cause your skin to peel off because they haven't been in the hobby long enough to appreciate when resin and metal models were relatively commonplace. I swear, I could give these people a metal landspeeder and a brittle plastic base and it would give them a panic attack.

 

(at this point I might as well add a second Simpsons meme, only this time it would be the "Old man yells at cloud" meme)

Speaking of bin diving, GW stop hoaring old promethium pipeline kit and re-release it proper so we can connect terrain and other scenery on the pipeline that you keep forcing designers to make fittings for

What size base is this likely to be on?

 

Which faction will this goto? Imperial Knights, Astra Mlitarum? 

 

I'm surprised warcom haven't acknowledged it yet either, unless they plan to make it Monday's reveal. 

 

Was this is even needed for 40k though? How will this be balanced?

Mine is on a 30cm round which gives room around the feet to actually do something and be stable but not be Helbrecht ludicrous

The argument against this model: no base. Have seen one fall off a shaky surface and break. Felt like losing a child.

Hard to call it a miniature.
 

It is not the miniatures or GW fault that people don’t put in on a base

Definitely agree, but mind that the general audience for 40K has gotten to the point where a lack of inclusion of every single option in the correct quantity for a load out or having to use parts from another kit causes mass confusion and panic. 

 

It's of very little surprise to me that there will be people who wouldn't think "this massive and expensive top heavy model wobbling on two bases doesn't come with a base, so I won't use one".

Perhaps.

Then again, GW provides instructions for how to build the model. Those do not tell you to mount it on a base. The display pieces in Nottingham do not feature bases.

The resin version is pretty dense, it has a high center of gravity and can stand on it's own. Wonder if the plastic version will have the same balance.

I would be tempted to fill the legs with something if I made a plastic Warhound to make it more stable. Green Stuff, Miliputt, small bits of metal, anything I could think of to make it less top-heavy. Either that, or if it's on a base some hefty base detailing, possibly including old metal models.

I don't think the GW instructions tell you to pin either. When it comes to the more expensive FW kits they seemed to, perhaps naively, assume you knew what you were doing to a certain extent.

 

I'd be very surprised if the plastic one doesn't come with a base though - if only because it's an opportunity to sell you more stuff to decorate it with.

Was that not a resin kit?

[SalamandersBro]

Is GW trying to move on from all resin kits?

To a degree.

 

I believe that they will keep the niche models (like specific Necromunda characters) in resin, but if they believe a model is going to be a big seller or a standard unit in armies for a long time, I believe they'll make the move to plastic.

Regarding the Void Shield Generator, it was originally released as a limited edition (1 000 copies) resin kit around 2014. For details see here:

As for the plastic version (shown on this thread), that was apparently released a bit later (around 2016).

Considering that pretty much every plastic walker comes with a plastic base nowadays, it can probably be assumed that will also apply to the Warhound. Whether it will be oval base, round base, multi-part round base, or two smaller bases, is open to speculation.

[Lathe Biosas]

Just as long as it's not a giant hex base, everything will be awesome.

They were billed as expert kits. From a common sense perspective you’d have to be pretty thick to buy a resin titan with no real idea on how to build it. My Lucius pattern cost me £250 + £35/weapon back in 2013, nigh on £300 is a huge risk for someone with no ‘proper’ idea of what they’re doing. Sadly mine needs rebuilding - the move beat it :(

 

As far as the weight goes, it might feel a bit more balanced, I’d say a good 2/3 of the weight is above the hips because it’s solid resin and I should think that the plastic will be hollow. I’d be more

confident with a plastic one having no base as it should hold together better too. Might not even really need pinning.

 

TBH they could sell the base separately.

Yeah I've never understood the people that go "Oh well I WOULD have bought this mini but seeing as it's in resin I'll pass" as if using superglue is some kind of dark art. Heck, resin has some advantages over plastic (the ability to do undercuts, you can get far more detail per part compare to plastic etc). 

 

You raise many very valid points. I am losing motor control to Parkinsons and I struggle to use superglue as it sticks my fingers together (as they won't go where my brain wants them to). Plastic - for me - is far more forgiving and allows a measure of drying time when if I've put a plate in the wrong place or upside down I can move it. 

 

You are right in resin's flexibility in design and detail but there's another side to that with the hobbyist himself - we're not all Duncan Rhodes with his surgeon's hands! 

 

When my Thanatar arrived in resin way back there were many warped pieces. Those were hard to straighten and when you've hundreds of pounds of model and are already a bit clumsy it's incredibly intimidating to heat and bend it. 

[Interrogator Stobz]

The resin Hound doesn't need any pinning unless you're going for a running pose. The balance is also really good for walking poses, the top heavy isn't a problem.

Super glue bonds resin like a boss too. 

 

But all that aside, this plastic one will certainly allow more dynamic poses with less risk.

That is if GW doesn´t decide that parts are just one or two poses. FW models atleast allowed you to fiddle with, even if you needed to cut pieces shorter or so

As far as I can recall, GW has not provided hex bases with figures since 1980's.

 

(As for those map hex tiles that came with Mighty Empires / Planetary Empires sets, they were not intended for glueing your figures on top.)

Aeronautica Imperialis had hex bases.
